Safety Guidelines
Consumer Information on SAR (Specific
Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the Government’s
Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions specified by the FCC with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. Because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels to use
only the power required to reach the network, in
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure.The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR
value for this model phone when tested for use at the
ear is 0.98 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user’s manual, is 1.22 W/kg. (Body-
worn measurements differ among phones models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements.) While there may be differences
between SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement
for safe exposure.
